The instrucions of the product leaflet should be followed in this case
and the company should be informed.It is difficult to tell what adverse
reactions can happen.The reactions may be simply pyrogenic in nature to
even anaphylaxis or the vacine may be ineffective.

Only the manufacturer can answer it or the one who has encountered such vaccine injection to a child may be able to answer confidently.
